He's Here!
Our long-awaited, much anticipated son has finally arrived! Chase was born on May 23 at 10:29 pm, weighing 9 pounds, 1 ounce and 21 inches long. After arriving at the hospital at 7:00 am on Sunday morning (41 weeks), they induced labor and contractions began. Around noon, the doctor broke my water and at 6:00 pm I was 6 cm dilated. At 7:00 pm, I got an epidural. It was not in my original birth plan to do so, but neither was the pitocin, IV, or being confined to the bed, so I just went for it... and it was the best decision ever! It only took one more hour until I was ready to start pushing! It was an awesome experience, and way better than I thought! Right after he was born, one of the first things I said was, "I'd do that again!"
